Getting older is not for sissies. I'm not a sissy, thank goodness. I'm a physical therapist, mom, daughter, sister, friend, and I am looking forward to "what's next?"

A dumb joke and a bad poem

I have no idea what I'm blogging about today.  Oh, that's right, something about hummus.  Ummm, I had some yesterday.  Now it's gone.  It was good.  The end.

Wait, that's not enough.

Here is a joke:  Who did the mummy take to the dance?
Answer:  Whoever he could dig up.

Hahahaha.

But today is not mummy joke day, it's Limerick Day, celebrating the birthday of Edward Lear, the limerick guy, born May 12, 1812.  He wrote "The  Book of Nonsense" which sounds like a great bestseller title to me!

I have never written a limerick, but I think I should at least try to write one about hummus:

There once was a gal who liked chickpeas
And lemon and salt and tahinis.
She mixed them one day
And now her friends say
Her hummus addiction is beastly!

Well, that isn't too bad for a quick limerick in the morning by a non poet.  But if you'd like to write your own in the comments, I'd be quite pleased!

There once was a gal who made hummus
And ate it all up, what a bummus!
She might make some more
If not, she's a...bore
And maybe give us hummus someus!

Best limerick ever, first four lines written by John and Peg Kirk (one line a time, on their fridge), last line by ME!

The Reverends Bob and Sue Ryder
discovered a taste for hard cider.
It pains me to tell
they liked it so well,
they showed up to church, he astride her.
